Pros

Remote work/life balance, great benefits, solid compensation for the previous several years, great managers

Cons

Constantly changing procedures, business model, and role structures. Goals never stay the same for more than a year, but the recent business model change was drastic and redefined the role, expectations, goals, and compensation structure entirely. You could easily measure your comp on a monthly basis, but now it is subjectively based and not measurable on a quarterly basis. The upper leadership have their heads in the clouds for sure on expectations and what is possible.

Pros

Many smart people genuinely want to grow & succeed; An excellent long term strategic vision backed by long term oriented investors; Ample growth opportunities at a business that is very well positioned for long term growth. Leaders that genuinely care about their people. Remote work is truly an advantage - just the lack of a commute makes a large difference. Opportunity to be at the ground level of a company that will develop a much stronger national brand over the next decade.

Cons

Delivery & Execution are areas that are truly challenging in the high growth/evolutionary environment that Empower is in today. Cultural changes are happening within the business that create some competing priorities, though Sr. Leaders continue to lead through this. Working with people across the US means don't expect a normal schedule - early / late starts and working lunches are the norm.
